Type Groups in the ABAP/4 Dictionary

You can define data types in a type group in the ABAP/4 Dictionary instead of defining them within an ABAP/4 program.

• The type group name in the ABAP/4 Dictionary has a maximum of 5 characters. Type names within type group <typepool> must begin with <typepool> followed by an underscore.
• The types in a type group must be declared in ABAP/4 programs with the TYPE-POOLS command.
